NEW NEGRO TENDENCIES.
Minneapolis .lournni.
Tho Old Houtli is breaking up in more
sense* than one. I)r. Albert K. Jcnks,
tho anthropological expert, Ims recently
pointed out four significant movements
taking place mining the colored people
of this country.
'I'lie lirst is Hint tho negro since tlm
Civil Wiir Ims become more nml more
a migrant. A million mid more hnvo
left the 8ont.li mid tnken up residence
In Northern cities. In tile iviike of this
movement come such nice trouble* ns
those Hint broke out in Hast 8t. Louis,
Cliicngo nml Duluth.
A second movement is the increasing
tendency of the negro to interniurry
with certain white stock. Tliie amalga
mation lias been Inking place for some
time, Imt only of Into Ims it lieconic pro
nounced. In Kiistern cities the negro
is iuternmrryiiig with those of smith
Emopean origin. The effects of such
I'licllil mixtures lire not yet known.
A t-liird tendency Ih the increasing
polit hull liillui'iicc of the colored eleirient,
A movement is already on foot for ne
genes to elect their own llepresuntutives
lo Congress wherever possible.
A fourth movement is tower,I gegre
gntinn. This is Inking place in at least
three separate mens of the South. Ne
groes llourish better in some regions
thnn whites, mid not so well in others.
In some purls of Ihe .Smith the whites
ate deer,'Using, mid the negroes inerens-
iog nl such ii rate (lint the results must
so,in be rcckmifil with.
The IiiMl coiii'IuhIoYi lo whieh these
ti'inlfiii'ics point Is thill, further negro
immigration from the West Indies nml
Africa should be stopped. The admin
si,-a of 11,000 colored nliciiH every year

problem of rnrinl relations.

PLUMBING AND ITS RELATION TO HEALTH.
1. Sanitaiy plumbing is of vital importance to every

2. The doctor cures—the plumber prevents.
3. Bad plumbing breeds disease and hastens death.
